The Confederate flag WAS an issue in the last election. There is simply no disputing that fact. That being said, the rest of your post is absolutely correct. When and how do we "draw a line in the sand"?

The Confederate flag was an issue in STATE elections in 2000. I only recall it being brought up once during the presidential campaign and it was in the form of a question during the debates.

Confederate Flag was and issue...There is simply no disputing that fact.

Where and when and how?

This is another case of a Democratic urban myth.
